That's essentially been Ware's whole career, so that doesn't cut it for me. Something is up with him. That's a horrendous drop off from last year with the same personnel. I hope he shakes out of it for the sake of my fantasy team, that's for sure. LOL.

He's had Parcells, Wade Phillips and Rob Ryan as his defensive coordinators. Your argument is invalid.

I would like to see David Wilson get some looks vs the 49ers though. Having him in the backfield could keep those ILBs a little more honest in pass coverage. They won't drop back so deep if they have to account for Wilson coming out of the backfield.

Could open up some passing lanes. I know it won't happen, but it would be a good idea if they trust him enough to put him in that role.

Psh, make adjustments based on your opponent? You know that's too much to ask for Gilbride.

Plus, they won't take Bow and Willis off the field. They run their nickel with zone coverage vs any front because those 2 are so fast they can cover the middle of hte field by themselves.

Look at what they did to the Packers. They'll do the same to our 5 WR set.

I can't tell you how far from the truth that is. Looking at the film I saw the 49ers line up with 2 LB's and 3 DL or 2 DL and 3 LB's with 6 DB's with 3 wide 1 TE (Jermichael Finley) Packers sets.

On 5 wide sets the 49ers had 2 LB's and 3 DL w/ 6 DB's mostly, Aldon Smith was not always on the field but in down position.

On 4 wide sets with 1 TE the 49ers had 3 DL and 2 LB's mostly and Aldon Smith again was not always on the field but in down position.

So Idk where you are getting the 5 DL from. This also kept San Fran from being able to disguise blitzes well, which is always a positive. I also saw that they were willing to put Culliver on Jordy Nelson, and Culliver did play well, but if they pull that with Hakeem I would be salivating. Rodgers in the slot, and they matched up safeties in man coverage often.

Even saying our Line would get eaten up with 3 DL is pushing it because GB's OL has been worse by a lot this year. Our 5 OL versus their 3 DL and maybe one blitzing linebacker allows us to double Justin Smith, slide the pocket away from Smith and have comfortable protection IMO.

This i could see with 4 WR sets or 3 WR sets and 1 TE, but we need to do our best schematically to limit what the 49ers can do on defense with the 4 players on their D that are all pros (Justin and Aldon Smith, Bowman, and Willis)

Hmmm. That's interesting. What kind of coverage shells were they running?
